There definitely is a bug here (actually more than one), but I don't believe it's as described above.
Everything works fine as long as 'Zoom Area Lock' is not selected in that mouse clicks register in the correct position. If the 'Zoom Area Lock' option is enabled, however, the mouse clicks do not register in the correct position (i.e. there's a specific offset between where the mouse pointer appears and where the click is actually registered). This can be corrected by selecting the 'Scale the mouse pointer' option after which the scaled mouse pointer will register clicks in the correct position. The 'Hide original mouse pointer' option needs to be selected along with 'Scale the mouse pointer' to avoid the confusion of having two mouse pointers visible on the screen. However, this is where the solution breaks down due to other bugs. When the 'hide' option is selected, the animated mouse cursor that should appear when an application is waiting (e.g. during a Firefox page loading) doesn't display at all, so you have no idea where the mouse pointer is while waiting for things. I often click on links on web pages before waiting for the page to completely load (some pages never load completely -- e.g. waiting for Google Analytics), so it's extremely frustrating and annoying to not know where the mouse pointer is. To make matters worse, this functionality is also broken when not even actively using the zoom functionality. In the addition to this behavior with 'Zoom Area Lock', the same will also occur if 'Sync Mouse' is disabled and 'Mouse panning' is enabled. Lot's of people have complained about this problem so it would be great to get it fixed. The Enhanced Desktop Zoom is an indispensable tool, but it's use is severely crippled by these few bugs. -- compiz->enhanced zoom desktop->zoom area lock = mouse input redirection breaks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/180830 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
